Abstract
Polymeric surface coatings capable of effectively integrating desired functional molecules and ligands are attractive for fabricating bio-interfaces necessary for various applications. Herein, we report the design of a polymeric platform amenable to such modifications in a modular fashion through host-guest chemistry. Copolymers containing adamantane (Ada) moieties, diethylene glycol (DEG) units, and silyloxy groups to provide functionalization handles, anti-biofouling character, and surface attachment, respectively, were synthesized. These copolymers were employed to modify silicon/glass surfaces to enable their functionalization using beta-cyclodextrin (βCD) containing functional molecules and bioactive ligands. Moreover, surface functionalization could be spatially controlled using a well-established technique like microcontact printing. Efficient and robust functionalization of polymer-coated surfaces was demonstrated by immobilizing a βCD-conjugated fluorescent rhodamine dye through the specific noncovalent binding between Ada and βCD units. Furthermore, biotin, mannose, and cell adhesive peptide-modified βCD were immobilized onto the Ada-containing polymer-coated surfaces to direct noncovalent conjugation of streptavidin, concanavalin A (ConA), and fibroblast cells, respectively. It was demonstrated that the mannose-functionalized coating could selectively bind to the target lectin ConA, and the interface could be regenerated and reused several times. Moreover, the polymeric coating was adaptable for cell attachment and proliferation upon noncovalent modification with cell-adhesive peptides. One can envision that the facile synthesis of the Ada-based copolymers, mild conditions for coating surfaces, and their effective transformation to various functional interfaces in a modular fashion offers an attractive approach to engineering functional interfaces for several biomedical applications.

Abstract
Bacteria are small but need big efforts to control. The use of antibiotics not only produces superbugs that are increasingly difficult to inactivate, but also raises environmental concerns with the growing consumption. It is now believed that the antibacterial task can count on some physiochemical features of material surfaces, which can be anti-adhesive or bactericidal without releasing toxicants. It is necessary to evaluate to what extent can we rely on the surface design since the actual application scenarios will need the antibacterial performance to be sharp, robust, environmentally friendly, and long-lasting. Herein, we review the recent laboratory advances that have been classified based on the specific surface features, including hydrophobicity, charge potential, micromorphology, stiffness and viscosity, and photoactivity, and the antibacterial mechanisms of each feature are included to provide a basic rationale for future design. The significance of anti-biofilms is also introduced, given the big role of biofilms in bacteria-caused damage. A perspective on the potential wide application of antibacterial surface features as a substitute or supplement to antibiotics is then discussed. Surface design is no doubt a solution worthy to explore, and future success will be a result of further progress in multiple directions, including mechanism study and material preparation.

Abstract
Healthcare-acquired infections as well as increasing antimicrobial resistance have become an urgent global challenge, thus smart alternative solutions are needed to tackle bacterial infections. Antibacterial materials in biomedical applications and hospital hygiene have attracted great interest, in particular, the emergence of surface design strategies offer an effective alternative to antibiotics, thereby preventing the possible development of bacterial resistance. In this review, recent progress on advanced surface modifications to prevent bacterial infections are addressed comprehensively, starting with the key factors against bacterial adhesion, followed by varying strategies that can inhibit biofilm formation effectively. Furthermore, "super antibacterial systems" through pre-treatment defense and targeted bactericidal system, are proposed with increasing evidence of clinical potential. Finally, the advantages and future challenges of surface strategies to resist healthcare-associated infections are discussed, with promising prospects of developing novel antimicrobial materials.

Abstract
The nerve guidance conduit (NGC) is a promising clinical strategy for regenerating the critical-sized peripheral nerve injury. In this study, the polysaccharide chitin is used to fabricate the hydrogel film for inducing the impaired sciatic nerve regeneration through incorporating the conductive poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) nanoparticles (PEDOT NPs) and modifying with cell adhesive tetrapeptide Cys-Arg-Gly-Asp (CRGD) (ChT-PEDOT-p). The partial deacetylation process of chitin for exposing the amino groups is performed to (i) improve the electrostatic interaction between chitin and the negatively charged PEDOT for enhancing the composite hydrogel strength and (ii) offer the active sites for peptide modification. The as-prepared hydrogel remarkably promotes the in vitro RSC-96 cell adhesion and proliferation, as well as the Schwann cell activity-related gene S100, NF-200, and myelin basic protein (MBP) expression. Function of gastrocnemius muscle and thickness of myelinated axon in chitin/PEDOT groups are analogous to the autograft in 10 mm rat sciatic nerve defect. Immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, western blotting, and toluidine blue staining analyses on the regenerated sciatic nerve explain that the attachment and proliferation enhancement of Schwann cells and angiogenesis are the vital factors for the chitin/PEDOT composite to facilitate the nerve regeneration. This work provides an applicable chitin-based NGC material for accelerating the peripheral nerve restoration.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) have long occupied a prominent position in most pharmaceutical laboratories as "off-the-shelve" tools to manipulate the pharmacokinetics of a broad range of active principles, due to their unique combination of biocompatibility and inclusion abilities. The development of precision chemical methods for their selective functionalization, in combination with "click" multiconjugation procedures, have further leveraged the nanoscaffold nature of these oligosaccharides, creating a direct link between the glyco and the nano worlds. CDs have greatly contributed to understand and exploit the interactions between multivalent glycodisplays and carbohydrate-binding proteins (lectins) and to improve the drug-loading and functional properties of nanomaterials through host-guest strategies. The whole range of capabilities can be enabled through self-assembly, template-assisted assembly or covalent connection of CD/glycan building blocks. This review discusses the advancements made in this field during the last decade and the amazing variety of functional glyconanomaterials empowered by the versatility of the CD component.

Abstract
Protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) is the porphyrin scaffold of heme b, a ubiquitous prosthetic group of proteins responsible for oxygen binding (hemoglobin, myoglobin), electron transfer (cytochrome c) and catalysis (cytochrome P450, catalases, peroxidases). PPIX and its metallated derivatives frequently find application as therapeutic agents, imaging tools, catalysts, sensors and in light harvesting. The vast toolkit of accessible porphyrin functionalization reactions enables easy synthetic modification of PPIX to meet the requirements for its multiple uses. In the past few years, particular interest has arisen in exploiting the interaction of PPIX and its synthetic derivatives with biomolecules such as DNA and heme-binding proteins to evolve molecular devices with new functions as well as to uncover potential therapeutic toeholds. This review strives to shine a light on the most recent developments in the synthetic chemistry of PPIX and its uses in selected fields of chemical biology.
